Hi res image would be good to clearly see the water effect.

Please post source links for plane, smoke & flame.

Great transformation!

Good lighting & texture match, but too much color & not enough blur in the noise on the statue. Aside from that I still like it a lot.

Clean up (slightly blur) hard edges. Otherwise it's a fabulous image!

Sphere should definitely be transparent, but the concept is good.

Creative use of source!

Source 2 is an ocean sunset & silhouette of a tree...I don't see it used here.

Love the face, but it's too hard to see the figure against the dark background.

Link 2 doesn't lead to image used.

Might be good to straighten the reflection & include the reflection of the thing she's sitting on. Otherwise it's a good image.

Good mood & color.

Pretty dark, and she doesn't look like she minds being incarcerated.

IMO the ovals (top surface) should be narrower...POV is almost eye level. Otherwise this is a great image. GL author!

Read the above...find some usable sources & resubmit. Go to My stuff>My contest entries>Edit entry.

Author it's a good try...find some useable images & resubmit. Check here: http://www.pxleyes.com/blog/2009/06/how-and-where-to-find-legal-source-images/

5.11. Use of Search Engines to Find Source Images: If you find images with google or yahoo image search, it doesn't mean they're not copyright, always check the source site to see if the image can be used or not. Wallpaper images are usually copyrighted.

Good work...very convincing!

Good blend & lighting.

Good idea & good source finds.

Good idea.

Nicely done...good mood.

Congrats!

Congrats!

Congrats!

Congrats!

Congrats, Terry!

Doesn't look any different.

Edges of the figure are blurry, but it's an interesting image.

Colors are too bright for a night scene, the girl needs a shadow, and the moon should be behind the clouds.

Not bad, but try to straighten the nose cone on your rocket. It should also follow the curve of the body.

Perspective on lighthouse is not right for an image like this. Also, the base of the lighthouse is transparent.

I don't see how he could be sitting with his leg over the wheel like that...

Looks better now...GL author.

Please fix links 3 & 4.

Good source find, nice colors. GL author!

Now all you have to do is remove the shadow of the vulture, since you've got the light source directly overhead, and it's far behind it, which would cast no shadow. GL author.

Background is a 3D render, and not usable. Please read 5.7. 3D Renders or Illustrations as Source: Using other people's 3D renders or illustrations (even with permission and no matter in which form they are offered) creates a false impression of your artwork. So 3D renders or illustrations (this includes brushes, tubes, clipart, pdf files) can not be used as sources, unless they are entirely created by yourself.

Head is distorted, otherwise good idea.

Looks better now. GL author.

Rarrot? Pabbit?
Pretty good, but you've overexposed an already overexposed background...explore Image>Adjustments>Exposure for future reference. GL author.

Looks good, but more contrast between figure & background would help IMO.

I don't mind if little of the source was used, it's still an effective image, but will you PLEASE repair the defects I mentioned?

PS: Author, you did a lovely job with the noise problem on the shirt, and the title change rocks!

Much improved now.

To get rid of a white line like around the legs in your image: if you have it on a separate layer, select the area outside the legs w/ the magic wand tool, expand the selection by 1 pixel, feather 1 pixel, and delete. You may have to repeat if it's still obvious.

Look at your floor source. See how it's darker back in the corner & gets lighter in the foreground? That's what your floor should do. Once you've done that you can make your reflections a bit brighter. GL author.

Congrats author, you finally got it right!
